Order: an order for Goods placed by the Buyer and accepted in writing by NOMOQ or otherwise deemed accepted by NOMOQ upon delivery of the Goods.

The word “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

2. OFFER & ACCEPTANCE

2.1 Offers by NOMOQ are non-binding and are subject to change with regard to price, quantity, delivery possibility and Delivery Date. The Buyer may submit a proposed order to NOMOQ verbally or in writing. Such proposed order shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods in accordance with these terms.

2.2 Each proposed order shall only be deemed accepted once confirmed in writing by NOMOQ or, if earlier,when the Goods are delivered to the Buyer (in whole or in part). Upon NOMOQ’s acceptance of an order for the purchase of Goods, a contract shall be formed incorporating these terms and the terms specified in NOMOQ’s written confirmation of the Order (“Contract”). Any terms specified in NOMOQ’s written confirmation of the Order shall take precedence over these terms in the event of a conflict.

2.3 The terms of the Contract constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other terms that apply to the sale of Goods to the Buyer to the exclusion of all other terms including any quotation, acceptance, acknowledgement, specification, or other communication. All descriptions and statements contained in NOMOQ’s promotional literature and samples are approximate only and shall not form part of the Contract. No modification or amendment of these terms will be binding unless agreed to in writing by NOMOQ.

3. DELIVERY OF GOODS & TRANSPORT MATERIAL

3.1 Unless otherwise stated in NOMOQ’s written confirmation of the Order, delivery of the Goods shall be FCA (Incoterms 2020) at NOMOQ’s premises as specified by NOMOQ to the Buyer.

3.2 Subject to the remainder of this clause, the Delivery Date (including time of delivery) shall be an estimate only and time shall not be of the essence. The Buyer may only reject a delivery as late or assert any other claim based on delay if. (i) a binding delivery time has been expressly agreed in writing by NOMOQ; and (ii) NOMOQ fails to deliver within 14 days after such binding Delivery Date. 

3.3 NOMOQ shall be entitled to make deliveries in instalments and each instalment may be invoiced separately.

3.4 Transport material such as pallets and other packaging materials are returnable if clearly marked as returnable in the Contract or on the invoice for the Goods (“Returnable Packaging”). Returnable Packaging shall at all times remain the property of NOMOQ or the respective owner, as the case may be.

3.5 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Buyer shall pay to NOMOQ a pallet deposit (“Returnable Packaging Deposit”) according to NOMOQ’s pallet deposit rate applicable on the date of invoice. The applicable pallet deposit rate is available on https://help.nomoq.com/returnable-packaging-material. Such deposit will be invoiced together with the Goods.

3.6 NOMOQ shall refund the pallet deposit if the Buyer returns the Returnable Packaging to NOMOQ: (i) not later than 24 months after delivery; (ii) in good condition being suitable for immediate reuse by NOMOQ; and (iii) in compliance with the requirements as specified at help.nomoq.com. Credit notes for pallet deposit refunds will be paid out at the earliest 45 days after their issuing. The Buyer shall at its own costs return the Returnable Packaging from time to time as agreed with NOMOQ or as requested by NOMOQ. At the Buyer’s request, if the minimum number of Returnable Packaging as specified at help.nomoq.com is reached, NOMOQ may arrange the collection of such Returnable Packaging subject to a fee. Such fee will be deducted and retained from the Returnable Packaging Deposit. If the Buyer fails to return the Returnable Packaging in the agreed condition within 24 months after delivery, the Returnable Packaging shall be deemed to have been purchased by the Buyer at the then applicable price.

4. PRICE & PAYMENT

4.1 NOMOQ's quantity-based standard price is indicative and based on the quantity of ordered cans of a continuous production order of one design including standard printing, but excluding the can ends. The price payable for the Goods (“Price”) will be as agreed by NOMOQ in writing.

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, value added tax and any other taxes, duties, fees, charges or levies which NOMOQ incurs or is responsible for relating to the production and/or supply of the Goods are not included in the Price. In particular, statutory duties such as the VRB (Vorgezogener Recycling Beitrag - advance recycling fee), Returnable Packaging Deposit or other legally mandatory deposit costs (including DPG, recycling fees, etc.) are not included in the Price, nor are transport material costs outside the categories listed above in this clause. All these supplementary costs will be invoiced separately in addition to the Price. If required export documentations are not provided by Buyer within 10 days after Order confirmation, NOMOQ will declare and invoice the VAT.

4.3 Prices are subject to change for future costs at NOMOQ’s discretion at any time prior to delivery or invoicing of the Goods (whichever is earlier) to reflect changes in applicable laws or introduction of new laws or regulations, increases in taxes, duties, levies and tariffs, foreign exchange fluctuations and increases in the costs of production, material, labour, freight and energy.

4.4 Invoices are issued together with the Order; NOMOQ requires payment in advance prior to manufacture and delivery of the Goods. Invoices shall be payable within 14 days of the invoice date by electronic bank transfer to the account and in the currency stated on the invoice. If the amount invoiced for the Goods has not been credited to the account at least 72 hours before the notified production date, the production date cannot be met; production will then be postponed according to the requirements of the production process and is at the sole discretion of NOMOQ. Any queries must be raised with NOMOQ in writing within 10 days of receipt. The Buyer shall pay interests on any outstanding and due amounts at the rate of five percent from the due date until the date of payment. In the event of extrajudicial or judicial collection of the due claims, the Buyer is obliged to reimburse the associated and incurred reminder, collection and court costs and all other expenses incurred.

4.5 Time for payment is of the essence. If the Buyer enters into (or becomes reasonably likely to enter into) an Insolvency Event or if the Buyer fails to pay any amount due for payment, NOMOQ may refuse to accept any further proposed orders from the Buyer.

4.6 The Buyer shall pay all amounts due in full without any deduction, set-off, counterclaim or withholding, unless a deduction or withholding of tax is required by law (in which case the Buyer shall pay such sum to ensure NOMOQ receives the full amount invoiced).

5. TRANSFER OF RISK & TITLE

5.1 Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery. The Buyer shall be fully responsible, at its own expense, for insuring the Goods against damage during the shipping period and shall be able to provide proof of such insurance upon NOMOQ's reasonable request

5.2 If before title passes to the Buyer, the Buyer becomes subject to an Insolvency Event, without limiting another right or remedy, the Buyer’s right to use or fill the Goods in the ordinary course of business ceases immediately and NOMOQ may at any time: (i) require the Buyer to deliver up all Goods in its possession; and (ii) enter any premises where the Goods are stored and recover them.

6. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTS

6.1 Subject to reasonable manufacturing variations and tolerances (i.e. in each case 1.5%n. LTL, 0,5% FTL or what may be deemed reasonable in excess thereof), upon delivery the Goods shall comply with NOMOQ’s specifications for such Goods in all material respects and shall be fit for the purposes, in each case, as expressly agreed in writing.

6.2 In respect of Goods for which NOMOQ has conducted successful corrosivity tests with a specific named product (“Approved Filling Product”), the suitability of the Goods for filling with the Approved Filling Product shall be as stated in writing by NOMOQ, subject to any limitations set out following the conclusion of such test.

6.3 Save as set out in clauses 6.1 and 6.2, all warranties, representations and guarantees as to the quality of the Goods, their fitness for a particular purpose, their correspondence with descriptions or samples (including promotional materials or samples provided by NOMOQ), their life or their wear, whether express or implied and whether on the basis of law, statute, trade customs, conduct of the parties or otherwise, are hereby expressly waived and excluded.

6.4 Save as set out in clause 6.2, NOMOQ makes no warranty, representation or guarantee that the Goods shall be suitable for the purpose of being filled with specific items; the shelf life of the Goods or of any items contained within the Goods; that the Goods will comply with foreign laws; nor that the Goods once filled or otherwise used will comply with applicable laws (including foreign laws) or regulations relating to their sale to the public. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is the Buyer’s responsibility to review and validate the shelf life and suitability of any ordered Goods in the context of their specific use and filling.

6.5 If the Goods do not comply with the requirements of clauses 6.1 and/or 6.2 in any material respect (“Non-Conforming Goods”), NOMOQ’s liability for such non-compliance shall be limited in accordance with this clause 6 and clause 7 below. The Buyer shall not return any Non-Conforming Goods to NOMOQ without NOMOQ’s prior written consent.

6.6 Prior to the Goods being filled and subject to clauses 6.7 to 6.10 and NOMOQ having had the opportunity to inspect the Non-Conforming Goods and confirm the defect, NOMOQ shall at its sole discretion, and as Buyer’s sole remedy, either replace or repair any Non-Conforming Goods or refund their purchase price. The Buyer shall not return any Goods to NOMOQ without NOMOQ’s prior written consent.

6.7 Once the filling process has commenced, NOMOQ shall only be liable for Non-Conforming Goods if:

(i) the Buyer has used an adequate product traceability system and followed an adequate “First In First Out” filling order procedure resulting in a homogeneous batch of Goods being filled;

(ii) the Buyer has complied with its inspection and notice obligations pursuant to clauses 6.9 and 6.10;

(iii) a representative of NOMOQ has had the opportunity to inspect the Non-Conforming Goods and confirmed the defect;

(iv) the Buyer has not made a change to the Approved Filling Product or the agreed filling conditions without NOMOQ’s prior written approval, and the Buyer has complied with the requirements and guidelines as provided or made available to the Buyer and/or listed in clause 8 “HANDLING, STORAGE, CARE” of this GTC; and(v) NOMOQ shall not be responsible for any defects in the Non-Conforming Goods which have been caused by the assembly of the Goods with third party can ends or can bodies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, NOMOQ shall not be liable for such defects whether the filling process has commenced or not.

6.8 NOMOQ shall not be liable for: (i) any defects resulting from the use of materials or specifications provided by the Buyer to NOMOQ for the purpose of performing the Contract; (ii) any defect, damage or loss caused by accident, neglect or improper use by the Buyer or its agents; (iii) any defect, damage or loss caused by accident or neglect after risk has passed to the Buyer in accordance with clause 5.1.

6.9 Immediately upon delivery, the Buyer shall inspect the Goods. Such inspection shall include reasonable incoming Goods inspections at the Buyer’s facility. Depending on the practice in the relevant industry, the reasonable incoming Goods inspection may include an exterior inspection of batches of Goods immediately upon receipt and a detailed inspection of single Goods during subsequent filling and processing. The Buyer shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that defective Goods are removed before and during filling and processing by providing for short interval intermediate in-line and off-line process control verifications and suitable installed devices.

6.10 NOMOQ shall have no liability whatsoever under this clause 6 or otherwise for Non-Conforming Goods unless NOMOQ receives a written complaint with detailed description of the defect or shortage within the following time periods:

(i) in respect of any shortage or defect which would be apparent from a reasonable incoming Goods inspection as described in clause 6.9, as soon as possible after delivery (and in any event within three business days);

(ii) in respect of any defect which is not apparent from a reasonable incoming Goods inspection, as soon as possible after such defect becoming apparent, provided that the Goods shall be deemed accepted in any event if NOMOQ has not received a complaint within 12 (twelve) months after their delivery.

6.11 The Buyer acknowledges it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of, any other statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) save as expressly set out above.

7. LIABILITY

7.1 Subject to clause 7.3, NOMOQ shall under no circumstances whatsoever be liable to the Buyer in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for any third party loss, loss of profit, loss of production, loss of goodwill, loss of business or loss of opportunity and/or for any indirect or consequential loss, incidental, special or punitive damages arising under or in connection with the supply, use and/or sale of Goods and/or the Contract.

8. HANDLING, STORAGE & CARE

From transfer of risk, the Buyer shall handle the Goods in accordance with the Handling Guidelines set out at help.nomoq.com and with the utmost care and protection, whether or not specifically instructed by NOMOQ or not. Accordingly, NOMOQ and the Buyer agree, and hereby confirm, that it is the Buyer's own responsibility to inform and take care of the proper handling and appropriate measures of care in the handling of the Goods purchased from NOMOQ, as NOMOQ is not aware of the Buyer's respective intentions. This includes appropriate transport or storage measures in full as long as NOMOQ is not responsible for this due to the agreed Incoterm provisions. Failure on the part of NOMOQ to provide information or instructions under this section to the Buyer and any damages arising therefrom shall not entitle the buyer to any claims against NOMOQ at any time or under any circumstances. In particular 

• Cans must not freeze at any time, especially during transport (e.g. in winter); 
• Cans must not be dropped or thrown, as this can lead to hairline cracks in the aluminium or the coatings.
• Open packaging with perishable contents must be separated immediately (!) from the other packaging and disposed of as quickly as possible for hygienic reasons; 
• Pallets must always be suitably secured.

NOMOQ is not responsible for any damage resulting from improper handling of the goods, including but not limited to the following: Storage, filling, sealing or thermal treatment of the goods after packaging.

NOMOQ is not responsible for any damage resulting from the interaction between the product and the cans, NOMOQ's warranty or any of its certificates, and improper filling, storage, sealing or heat treatment after packaging of a product.

Any recommendations on the use, storage, transport and/or application of Goods, including consumption, are made to the best of our knowledge and belief, but are non-binding, without any claim to completeness or correctness and to the exclusion of any warranty and liability.
